September 2oth, We've come to show that friendship still survives the test of time. Tis joy to know that through the years, with hearts aglow with friendship warm, we still may meet, reviewing thoughts and memories sweet, re calling scenes of long ago. Of pleasure when the heart was young: of rcun delays so gayly sung, wlu-n meeting then at rustic fete, congenial friends together ate. Then frcm our memories ne're will fade, the simple sanies together played, through youth and adolescent age, at festival and party. Most often at the old church door, we met with friendly greeting, with cordial handshake, kindly glance; v;h naught of pomp or circum stance, to mar ovr joy in simple liv ing, devoutly listening to the word; so quickly then our hearts were stir red by sacred song and solemn rite, Intoned by clergy who with might and power proclaimed Eternal life, the recompense for Holy living.

Washington The prohibition bu reau Saturday estimated the per capita production of beverage alcohol at .002 gallons for the last fiscal year and offered for purposes of compari son internal revenue bureau figures placing such production in 1914 at 1,705 gallons. The estimate for 1930 was based upon an extended study of the consumption of corn, sugar, grapes, hops, malt and other com modities used in the manufacture of illicit liquor, the amount of indus trial diverted into bootleg channels and intoxicating smuggled into the country. Detailed figures, together with con clusions drawn from them, were set forth in an eighty page monograph, prepared by E. A. (Jrant and E. P. Han ford in the bureau's division of research and public information. It was intended as the first of a series of similar reports. The statement was repeatedly made that the figures for 1930 had to do only with possi ble production. From these must be deducted seixures and other factors before an index of consumption can be reached. The researt h division is now engaged in this task. Growing Less Each Year "Statements made from time to time that the consumption of al holic beverages is greater today than it was prior to the adoption of the eighteenth amendment are unwar ranted," the monograph said. Again after reviewing estimates of produc tion during the last few years made by organizations and individuals both favoring and opposing prohibition, the bureau said "it appears that con sumption of alcoholic liquor in the United States is growing less from year to year. Estimates by interested parties were not considered in the compil ation of figures for 1930. These gave the possible production for the year ended last June 30 at 23,380,718 gallons of spirits, 118,476,200 gal lons of wine and 6S4.447.S00 gal lons of beer, a total of S76,320,71S gallons of all beverages. For 1914 the following figures on beverages withdrawn, tax paid, for consumption, taken from the records of the nternal revenue bureau were given. They show 143,447,227 gal lons of spirits, 2,056,407,10S gallons of malt liquors and 52.41S.430 gal Ions of wine, a total of 2,256,272,- 65 gallons. Reducing these figures to quantities of absolute alcohol, the bureau said that in 1914 the prod uction was 166.983,681 gallons and in the fiscal year ot last July 307, 531,172. Complete Figures Lacking, The report pointed out that the nternal revenue bureau's figures did not give a complete picture of the imount of liquor consumed in 1914 as thev do not include ber and wine made in the home and illegal traffic n spirits. "However." the Monograph said. 'leaving out of consideration the fact that more liquor was consumed n 1914 than the internal revenue figures indicate, the bureau estimate of possible production for 1930 shows hat only about 40 percent as much lquor could have been produced in 930 as was withdrawn, taxp aid in 914. In conclusion, the report said: "The bureau reiterates that the fore going wrok is only an estimate. It is based upon such known facts as an available, and upon the reports and opinions of those dealing direct ly with enforcement of the law. The bureau acknowledged the weaknesses of such an estimate, but it is desir ous of acquainting the public with the truth so far as it is able to as certain that truth." State Journal.

Kearns, Salt Like City youth, lost his money in a poker game and was not robbed as he claim ed, Chief of Police Pzanowski declar ed after an investigation. En route to Chicago to enter a university, young Kearns arrived here Sept. 17. He had $17 In cash and checks for $f0 and $250. That evening he wired the Tracy Loan and Trust company of Salt Lake City that he had been robbed and asked it to stop payment on the SG0 check. Proceeding to Chicago he wrote his parents a harrowing tale of his adventures, claiming that two men had pressed a revolver to his side and robbed him as he waited for a bus. The check, endorsed by Don D. Pool, eventually was returned here after payment was refused at Salt Lake City. Pool thereupon wrote the trust company, stating he had re ceived the check in a business deal and demanding payment. Secretary N. C. Ellis of the Trust company Monday night asked local police to arrest Pool, who Chief Pszanowski said, Is a well known gambler here. Pool and his partner, Charles Wood, told the officers that Kearns had been inveigled into the game and lost.

HYBRID CORN GIVEN TEST Despite the fact that hybrid corn appears to be yielding favorably in corn variety tests over Nebraska, the college of agriculture is not yet ready to recommend it to farmers, Paul Stewart and D.

In pdaeticaliy all tests over the state, hybrid corn has shown up well, dross declared, but it has not prov ed itself to the extent that it can be recommended. Nebraska 110 and 111 are the hybrid varieties showing up wel in tests. Late corn in al ltests has appear ed to show a better yield this year than that planted early, according to Gross, altho weather conditions put the early corn to a disadvantage this year.
